Pretty BOLD statement there. :poke:
As mentioned twice before,Turn your head in a windowless cargo
& see what you get,Look in the rear view mirror & see what you get.
Leaning foreward & utilizing the mirror for line of sight for lane changes
is the only way to go.

Use your mirrors as Sanja suggested, then you won't be putting "big, huge scatches" in the side of you van.
Right Sanja. :goodman:

I don't see it as a BOLD statement, more like a truthful statement

If you're in a windowless van you have no choice but to rely on side mirrors as you're only option ( that in no way means its the best option for all vehicles ) with the potential for people to be changing lanes while coming up behind you this puts you at a disadvantage to see them until they are in you're line of site which may be too late to notice, in a van with windows it is ALWAYS best to check you're rear view as well as look over you're shoulder just to add that extra bit of being sure that no-one is in a blind spot, lots of merging lanes come in at an angle which necessitates looking over you're shoulder, so if you had that option but did not utilize it and only utilized you're side mirrors and crashed into someone you could be considered foolish yes/no

30 yrs of driving on some of Canada's busiest roadways with not 1 accident, I think I'll continue to look over my shoulder whenever possible :cheers:
